Why is a flame blue?

 * — (View AfD)

This is simply not an encyclopedia article. It is a question with a huge load of awful handwavy conjecture as to what the answer might be and contains no valid, correct or verifiable information. There is NO need for a merge as the quality of information on this page is horrific and I've already added a nice section explaining the blue color of flames to that article.

 * Comment This is a list of questions to guide students' thinking about why a flame is blue. That kind of content is quite appropriate for a Wikibook teaching physical science, but it's not an encyclopedia article. Fg2 01:18, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
